foolmenot.comI gotta keep thinking that at some level, this stuff becomes funny… These are the kinds of articles (below) that come from failed politicians... Trying harder and harder to prove she is a failed politician, Jennifer Granholm continues to single out Michigan as being “picked on”!
I had a dream last night that Dick DeVos decided never to release any sort of governing plan; letting Granholm complain and complain and complain herself back into private law practice somewhere in the thumb.
In the article below, Granholm continues to use President Bush as the devil. According to the Gov, only Michigan will suffer if he pursues his evil plan against “Michigan Manufacturers”!
Astute political observers know this to be a familiar pattern. Granholm is running scared; her record is void, her vision is void! She can blame aspects of her record on circumstances, such as the failed Michigan automotive industry, but that too comes with a price tag. In three years she has offered up not one strategy to address this downward spiral. Instead she follows the Liberal/Socialist agenda of blame, name-calling, promises of post-election bliss, and throwing taxpayer money at groups for their votes…
In many parts of the country, heretofore Democratic voters have been increasingly recognizing the downside of a Liberal influence over their once proud party. Michigan, whose Democratic politics remains dominated by unions and government bureaucracies feeding at a tax supported Granholm/Levin/Stabenow trough, has yet to understand the negative personal and public consequences of that mindset.
You are only to read what Granholm is saying; words mean things!

WASHINGTON -- Michigan manufacturers won't get much help from the federal government next year if the president's proposed 2007 budget wins approval from Congress, Gov. Jennifer Granholm said Monday.
Granholm, speaking at the offices of the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, said the president hasn't done enough to stop foreign countries such as China and Japan from manipulating their currencies to make their goods cheaper than those made in the United States.
"All I'm asking as governor of Michigan is for a president who will stand up for our businesses and for our workers, for our middle class and for our way of life," Granholm said.
She singled out the Manufacturing Extension Partnership program, which Bush is proposing to cut to $47 million from $106 million this year, and the $136-million Advanced Technology Program, which would be eliminated.
